George Karpati Lecture: The Era of Bespoke Therapies for Genetic Neuromuscular DiseasesVirtual
Lecture Abstract: Myology has been an indispensable centerpiece in our expanding understanding of basic biology, cellular physiology, and genetics over centuries. It has also been a constant partner in development of techniques to study cellular biology, histopathology, and disease pathogenesis. However, many primary disorders of skeletal muscle remain recalcitrant. With the recent advent of DNA- and RNA-directed therapies, a decades-long vision of treating patients with rare neuromuscular diseases seems within reach, although many barriers remain to be overcome. This presentation will give an overview of monogenic neuromuscular disorders from a physician-scientist viewpoint and provide a few concrete examples of approaches in the laboratory to study disease pathomechanisms, to identify therapeutic targets, and to develop bespoke/precision therapies for these rare diseases. ...
